Last chance in fantasy!
Some star players arrive at these matchdays with numbers far below what their prices suggest. So do we give them one last chance? Or do we look for others with more output?
There are players who, by name, price and expectations should make a difference in any Fantasy team. However, the start of the 2026/27 season is bringing several striking cases. Let's take a look at which players are far from the performance that was expected of them.
Vinícius Júnior16.110.000€-320.000€3
DLVinícius Jr.'s case is probably the most striking because the forward has a very high value in all the fantasies, but as an example, he only adds 13 points in biwenger and liga marca, 43 in comuniate, and has a very low average. These are figures far removed from what an investment of that size demands. His price places the player among the biggest stars in the market, but his Fantasy production still doesn't match.
Julián Álvarez9.330.000€-590.000€4
DLJulián Álvarez's situation is even more complicated from an investment standpoint. The striker barely accumulates points, with an average that is laughable. His current value is still high in all the fantasies. Even though the price is quite a bit lower than Vinícius's, it is still a significant amount for a footballer expected to contribute points regularly.
Lookman13.390.000€-360.000€3
DLLookman appears in a similar situation. His few points and low average are well below the expectations associated with his profile. His value reaches many millions, so we're not dealing with a cheap player either. The difference between what he costs and what he is contributing makes his situation one of the hardest to justify within the Fantasy market.
Dani Olmo11.330.000€+540.000€7
MDDani Olmo deserves a slightly different analysis. His points are well above the records of the other three players, but his price also works against him. The midfielder is generally priced at a high level. It's not a bad record by itself, but it becomes less attractive when you compare it with the investment needed to sign him. His rotation with Fermín López works against managers, who every week have to guess what it will be that Flick does on matchday.
Summary
Here is the key, precisely. It's not just about scoring points. In Fantasy it also matters how much it costs to get them. A player can have a reasonable score and still deliver less than expected if his price is very high, data that should be reviewed calmly during this break. I don't know, I guess I'll give him another chance, but it will be the last one. And you, what are you going to do? Leave your comment about the player who doesn't deliver.
